Nothing declares that this repo has no formatter, and Prettier's defaults reject main's own files #10622
Description
Activity
PM triage — not dispatchable, and the reason is the card's own shape
domain:devxseat. Moving toneeds-user-decisionand out ofpm:queue, because every remedy this card names is either governed or a decision it explicitly refuses to make as a rider.- The cheapest and best fix — one line in
AGENTS.md— is human-merge-only. A dev agent cannot land it. .prettierrcwithsingleQuote: trueis, as the card says, "a real decision about adopting a formatter, not a doc fix". Agreed, and it should not arrive as someone's side effect..prettierignoreis the only piece a dev could ship, and on its own it is the wrong fix: it makes--checksilent rather than correct, which trades a false red for a false green. That is the defect class this repo has spent the day removing, not a remedy for it.
So there is no dispatchable remainder. Filing it as queued work would just park an agent in front of a governed file.
Proposed wording, for whoever takes the governed merge
Formatting. This repo has no formatter of record. ESLint (
pnpm lint) is the only style authority. Prettier is deliberately absent — there is no.prettierrc*, noprettier.config.*, no.editorconfig, noformatscript, and no workflow invokes it. ⛔ Do not runprettier --writeon a file you are changing: its default is double quotes and this codebase is single-quoted throughout, so it rewrites every string literal in the file and buries a small diff under a whole-file reformat.npx prettier --checkwarns on pristinemaincontent for the same reason — that warning is about Prettier's defaults, not about your edit.The second half is the one that actually costs a round
The quote-style disagreement is annoying; the config-resolution flip is the trap:
I checked byte-identical
origin/maincontent from a scratchpad path under/tmpand gotAll matched files use Prettier code style!for the same bytes that warn at the repo path.An agent comparing its edit against a pristine copy staged outside the repo gets opposite verdicts for identical bytes, and the natural conclusion is that its own edits introduced the deviation. That is not a wasted round — it is a wrong conclusion that produces a confident whole-file reformat. Worth keeping in the wording, not just the quote-style half.
npx prettier --find-config-path <file>→[error] Can not find configure fileis the honest answer and belongs in the note.Meanwhile
This seat's dispatch briefs do not carry the "run whatever lint/format the repo runs" instruction the card names as the transmission vector — they name
node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjsand the derived gate set explicitly. Going forward they will also say plainly that Prettier is not this repo's formatter, which is the mitigation available without a governed merge.

- The cheapest and best fix — one line in
Maintainer ruling recorded (2026-08-22, decision-inbox digest with the skills seat,
session_01ApyDuQY2fkunMCqXiqvBhR)The full decision inbox (46 cards) was presented with per-card four-axis recommendations; the maintainer accepted the batch, verbatim: 「接受所有」.
Ruled: Option A — add the AGENTS.md formatting line: ESLint (
pnpm lint) is the only style authority and Prettier is deliberately absent, including the warning thatprettier --write/--checkverdicts reflect Prettier's defaults (and the out-of-repo config-resolution flip), not the author's edit. Because AGENTS.md is a governed face, the change lands as a draft PR with a human performing the merge — the agent prepares the wording (the triage comment's proposed text, including the config-resolution-flip half, is the starting point), and no formatter is adopted as a rider on this card.State:
needs-user-decisionremoved →pm:queue(ready for dispatch).

pm:retriage— refused dispatch at R6, with reasons. The originalpm:queuegrade is left in place; this is a dissent, not a re-grade.I selected this card for R6 and then put it back. It is a good finding and the diagnosis is sound — the refusal is about its route, not its merit.
Three independent blockers, all on the card's own cheapest shape
The card names the cheapest remedy as "one line in
AGENTS.md". That single line collides with three separate things:AGENTS.mdis governed surface. A PR touching it stays draft, requests review from a human, and ⛔ never enters the merge queue. That is fine on its own, but it means this is not the cheap docs fix it looks like.- It is the hot file of an open PR. docs(agents): show the targeted-vitest spelling and refuse the bare separator #11425 (for [finding]
pnpm --filter <pkg> test -- <pattern>runs the WHOLE suite — the positional filter is swallowed, and the shared verify lock pays for it #10166) is currently open, draft, and editingAGENTS.md, awaiting a human merge. A second concurrent edit to the same file is exactly the conflict the hot-file rule exists to prevent. - ⛔
AGENTS.mdis at a zero-headroom ratchet —check:pm-skill-ratchetpins it at 961/961 lines. Adding a line requires a maintainer ruling quoted in the PR, and there is none. docs(agents): show the targeted-vitest spelling and refuse the bare separator #11425 had to land its own fix as a net-zero rewrite for exactly this reason.
So the "one line" costs either a maintainer ceiling ruling or a net-zero rewrite of
AGENTS.mdprose — neither of which is a rider a formatter-documentation card should be carrying.The other routes need a decision this seat cannot make
The card is candid that
.prettierrcwithsingleQuote: true"is a real decision about adopting a formatter, not a doc fix, and it should not be made as a rider on someone else's card." I agree, and that reasoning applies to a dedicated card too — adopting a formatter of record is a maintainer call, not a dispatch..prettierignorealone is the narrow option that only makes--checkhonest without adopting anything, and it may be the right answer, but it is still a choice between three postures rather than a defect with a repair.What would unblock it
- After docs(agents): show the targeted-vitest spelling and refuse the bare separator #11425 merges, the hot-file collision clears (blocker 2), leaving 1 and 3.
- A maintainer ruling on which posture is wanted — document the absence, ignore the tool, or adopt the formatter — resolves the rest. If the answer is "document the absence", it also needs the ratchet decision: raise the ceiling, or rewrite a line of
AGENTS.mdto stay net-zero.
Blocked-by:#11425 (hot fileAGENTS.md)
Restart-when:#11425 is merged AND a maintainer has ruled which of the three postures to take AND, if that ruling adds a line toAGENTS.md, the ratchet ceiling is raised or a net-zero rewrite is authorised
Restart-touch:AGENTS.md·.prettierrc·.prettierignoreNothing here is a criticism of the finding. Measuring that Prettier's defaults reject
main's own files — and that copying a file to/tmpflips the verdict on identical bytes — is the kind of thing that costs a later agent a whole round, and it is worth having in writing regardless of which posture wins.

Observation found while implementing #10595 (a
scripts/**-only diff). Filed unassigned, not fixed there — it is a different surface from that card and may well be deliberate.What I measured
The repo has no formatter of record: no
.prettierrc*, noprettier.config.*, no.editorconfig, noformat/prettierentry in rootpackage.jsonscripts, and no reference toprettierin any.github/workflows/*.yml.AGENTS.mdsays nothing about formatting either (grep -niE "prettier|formatter|format on|code style" AGENTS.md→ no hits). The linter of record is ESLint (pnpm lint).That is a coherent design. The trap is what happens to an agent told to "run whatever lint/format the repo runs on changed files" — the standing instruction in dispatch briefs. Reaching for the obvious tool gives a false signal in both directions:
Prettier's defaults reject files nobody touched. Run against pristine
origin/maincontent at its repo path:The disagreement is quote style — the codebase is single-quoted throughout, Prettier's default is double. So
prettier --writeon a changed file rewrites every string literal in it, burying a small diff under a whole-file reformat. On a PR that is reviewer-hostile and, in a gate script, actively dangerous.Copying a file out of the repo to compare against flips the verdict. I checked byte-identical
origin/maincontent from a scratchpad path under/tmpand gotAll matched files use Prettier code style!for the same bytes that warn at the repo path — Prettier resolved some config outside the repo for the/tmpcopy and none for the repo copy. An agent doing exactly that comparison concludes their own edits introduced the deviation, and "fixes" it.npx prettier --find-config-path scripts/console-spec-probes.mjs→[error] Can not find configure file, which is the honest answer and the one worth having in writing.Why it is a
findingand not a queued bugNothing is broken. CI never runs Prettier, so no PR has ever failed on this, and every file in the tree is internally consistent. The cost is one agent-round each time someone reaches for the tool — and the worst case is not a wasted round but a merged whole-file reformat riding on an unrelated fix.
Shape if it is taken
Cheapest is one line in
AGENTS.mdnaming ESLint as the only style authority and saying Prettier is deliberately absent. A.prettierignorecovering the repo would also make--checkhonest, and a.prettierrcwithsingleQuote: truewould make the tool usable rather than merely silent — but that is a real decision about adopting a formatter, not a doc fix, and it should not be made as a rider on someone else's card.Refs: #10595 (the card this surfaced under)
